Lyra Sinclair del Argus, marchioness over the lands of Rivenfall, a march of the Guardian Duchy of the Argus clan, appears in a puff of red fog inside of a large ballroom full of humans right next to a vast core spanning five meters in width alongside an arachnae. And almost immediately, she senses the faintest hint of blood lycan coming from somewhere in the city. Somewhere to the south, closer to the border. So she glances at the humans in the room – all of whom are Class I or II ‘Guardians,’ as…-

The howl resonates within me for some reason. It feels familiar. A little warm. But also… weak? Why is this howl making me feel superior towards whoever or whatever is howling? I narrow my eyes at the air for a moment, only to lightly shake my head. Then I hear White’s voice echo throughout the silent ballroom despite her talking quietly. “Damnit, it had to happen today? Of all days…” I turn around, only to see White walking through a crowd of people while completely ignoring them and raising…

Next time I decide to go to a ball of my own free will, make sure to tell me not to. Okay, Tar? He just snorts in amusement before muttering a short ‘okay’ as I look past the hundreds of people, most of whom are wearing formal attire of fancy dresses or equally nice suits, at the stage where White is standing next to the vice headmaster. I have a very bad feeling about this. And the gazes people are sending me after looking at White are not helping that. “Hello everyone, and welcome to the end of…

“Have a nice summer! It was wonderful having you in my class, Scarlet,” my Demon Biology professor – a Guardian whose title is the Professor – says with a smile as I hand in my final exam paper. I give him a light smile and a nod in return before walking out of the class, leaving the couple dozen other students to their exams. And that was my last final for the year. I’m really glad I can reduce the sensitivity of my ears this way. Makes it so Belle can’t mess with me by poking them. And…

The very first thing I do is spend thirty-two Skill Points to bring the new passive legendary skill straight up to level five to get the level five improvement for the skill, leaving me with sixty-seven SP left. Then I go ahead and spend another fifty-four Skill Points to finally bring Blood Retribution to level ten, making it so that all of my skills except the new ones, blood armor, null magic field, and blood chains are at least at level ten. And even null magic field is just about there, what with it…

“Where in the ever loving stars did you get the idea that charging a demon over I patiently wait until I hear Ava having left our room before I gently ask, “White?” Following which a white barrier appears around us, cutting us off from anything. “Appreciated.” Knew she was still around somewhere. I kept feeling that annoying sensation that someone was watching me all the way back to the moment I woke up. Not to mention that Tar said she hadn’t left my side once while I was out. Anyways, I…

I wake up to the sound of shouting. The shouting isn’t in the room I wake up in though, which is the bedroom I was using on the Garden. No. It’s coming from Ava’s office, where I hear a slight static sound accompanied by Allen’s voice as he most likely shouts at her through a video call. And just hearing his shouting makes me wince. Yeah, it’s probably gonna be my turn when I get back. Good morning. Right. What day is today, by the way? Before I can answer, his face twists slightly and he…

A wave of purple gook suddenly splatters out of the spider, spraying everything in sight including me. And the moment the gook touches me, it The liquid eats away at my skin, at my armor, at my fur on my arms, and practically at everything, leaving me screaming in pain. But the spider isn’t in much better shape since it seems to have forgotten about blood retribution and has lost its footing, also screeching in its own pain. Through my purple coated and slightly spotty eyes, I see a woman with white…

Despite my blood shadow having been attacking it, all the large black and red spider has to show for it is that one of its legs is bent the wrong way at one point, and the civilian orphans it was targeting have managed to run away. So with that in mind, I summon another blood shadow with a pained grimace, feeling my legs begin to shake a little before sending the blood shadow down towards it and this time actually focusing on it. My blood shadow jumps from building to building until it leaps down straight…

Without any hesitation, the Garden begins to descend at an incredible speed towards the ground, stopping with the bottom of the island just barely not touching the walls of the orphan sector. Then Ava immediately shouts while manifesting a spear in her hand and a layer of blood armor around her body, “Enforcers, come! We restrain the Fracture here and now!” A loud roar echoes from the Guardians on the Garden, making me look back to find a woman seemingly about thirty years old spreading her hands out…
